he birth of a baby is a beautiful thing, but for up to

300,000 women a year in the U.S, pregnancy can be
a potentially deadly event due to preeclampsia, which
threatens the life of both mother and child. Due to the gravity of this disorder, Morristown Mayor Timothy Dougherty
has issued a proclamation declaring May 2015 to be
Preeclampsia Awareness Month.
The only known solution for preeclampsia, characterized
by elevated blood pressure and protein in the urine, is delivery of the baby. Organized by Stephanie Steiner and her
daughter Marissa of Springfield, both survivors of the disease, the Cranford Area Promise Walk for Preeclampsia
helps to raise funds in order to try to find a cause and cure.

This year's event will be held on May 17, and is expected to
draw in more participants and donations than ever before.
Junior coordinator Marissa is also a member of Precisely
Right Synchronized Skating Team based at Mennen Sports
Arena, which is one of the major supporters of the walk. Its
members over the past few years have gathered donations
and volunteered their time to support this cause.
The Walk was scheduled for May 17 but donations are
being accepted through July. To donate visit http://promisewalk.org/Cranford. To learn more about preeclampsia and

Morristown Soup Kitchen Receives NJ Heroes Grant
By Anastasia Marchese
ast month the non-profit organization,
NJ Heroes, announced their grant
recipients for 2015. This organization
was founded by First Lady Mary Pat
Christie, to recognize "Everyday People
Changing New Jersey." This year they
awarded $120,000 to NJ non-profits; $7,500
of this years monies will go to the
Community Soup Kitchen & Outreach
Center in Morristown. According to Casey
Mahoney, the Executive Director of NJ
Heroes, only former NJ Heroes can apply
for the grants.
In Dec. of 2013, Alan Weinstein was recognized as a NJ Hero for his role in implementing the Kitchen to Kitchen program.
Weinstein had been the owner of The Park
Savoy and wanted to do something to help
the Community Soup Kitchen. The Soup
Kitchen was no longer able to serve meals
that had been prepared in private homes and
then donated. The Soup Kitchen would now
only be able to serve food which had been
prepared in a commercial kitchen. This
meant that they had to renovate their facility's kitchen and would also need to purchase
a lot more of the food they would be serving.
Weinstein came up with the idea to rally

the restaurants in the area to prepare food
which they could then donate to the
Community Soup Kitchen. His connections
in the restaurant industry made him uniquely situated to implement this plan and due to
his passion and innovation the Soup Kitchen
was able to continue serving donated food,
which greatly helps them provide for the
community.
For this dedication he was awarded the
NJ Hero title.
Now the Community Soup Kitchen has
once again benefited because of Weinstein's
dedication. They were awarded this $7,500
which will go far in helping the Soup
Kitchen to provide healthy food to low
income families in Morris County through
their Free Farmers Market program.
Prior to receiving the grant, the Soup
Kitchen had three weekly Free Farmers
Markets, in which low income families
could come and pick up fresh fruits and vegetables as well as meat.
The foods are donated by local grocery
stores that remove the foods prior to expiration, while the food is still perfectly saleable.
A lot of low income families don't have
money in their food budgets for perishable

food items, and their health can suffer
because of it.
The Community Soup Kitchen has nurses from the hospital who come and offer free
health screenings. At one point, the nurses
made the Soup Kitchen aware that about 80
percent of their clients had hypertension
and/or diabetes. Filling their stomach wasn't
Weichert
enough and the Soup Kitchen wanted to give

these families access to healthy food that
would lower their risks of hypertension and
diabetes.
The Soup Kitchen now offers Nutrition
Education and helps their clients to learn
about new kinds of fruits and veggies that
they might not have considered.

Treatment-resistant Mood Disorders,
followed by questions on mood disorder.
He is trained in psychiatry, psychopharmacology, internal medicine and
psychoanalysis; board certified in both
Internal Medicine and Psychiatry; serves
on the faculty of the Weill Medical
College of Cornell University and
Columbias College of Physicians and
Surgeons. Reddy, who practices in

Soup Kitchen...
continued from page 2
Due to the grant funds, The Community

Soup Kitchen was able to open up a fourth
weekly Free Farmers Market at a nearby low
income day care center. These working parents can now pick up healthy food for their
families after work. According to Marla
Drury, the Soup Kitchen's Director of
Development, many working parents cannot
go to food distributions during the day,

so having these Free Farmers Markets
available at places that work for them, benefits the whole family.
Thanks to NJ Heroes many more people
in Morris County now have weekly access
to healthy foods that they can then prepare in
their own homes for their own families.

Documentary On Adoptee
Laws To Be Featured
hat happens when a state allows

adopted citizens to have their
original birth certificates? In
2011, Illinois became the largest state in
the Union to reverse sealed records laws,
restoring adult adoptees access to the document recording their birth. The documentary, A Simple Piece of Paper, tells
the story of more than a dozen adoptees, as
they open their records. Their collective
experiences provoke a new question: what
would have happened if the records had
been opened sooner? Most adoptees in
America are never allowed to have the
record of their own birth. But in the last
fifteen years, a number of states have
reversed sealed records laws. From
Oregon to Maine, thousands of adoptees
have now received their records, and this
film centers on the experiences of those
adoptees. The film will be screened on
Thurs., May 21 at 7 p.m. at the Morristown
& Morris Township Library.
New Jersey is one of the states involved
in this issue. In 1938, the State of NJ

began sealing birth certificates of adopted
children against public access and in 1940
prohibited access even to the parties
involved. Efforts were made by advocacy
groups in 1980 to overturn the law and
provide adopted adults a right to their own
personal history but that journey has now
taken more than 30 years. Legislation
passed by both the state senate and assembly in February of 2014 restored nostrings-attached access to original birth
certificates by adopted individuals and
Governor Chris Christie signed a negotiated compromise into law on May 27. For
more information on this law, see:
http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/PL
14/9_.PDF]. The law opening up these
records to adoptees will take effect on Jan.
1, 2017.
Light refreshments will be served.
This program was made possible thanks
to funding from the Friends of the
Library.

The Complete Story
If you or your children have undergone a vision screening at school, in
a mobile unit, or at a department of
motor vehicles, you should know that
this general eye test is no substitute for
a comprehensive eye examination.
Screenings are general eye tests that
are conducted to identify people at risk
for certain eye conditions and can indicate the need for a comprehensive eye
exam. Only eye doctors can perform a
complete eye exam, which involves
careful testing of all aspects of a persons vision. The results of which can
lead to a recommended course of action, including eyeglasses, contact
lenses, medical treatment, or simply a
follow-up appointment if necessary. A
complete eye exam can even result in
the detection of a systemic condition
(hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc.), simply by looking at various structures such as blood vessels
within the eye. Because of this, adults
and children should have a complete
eye exam with an eye care professional, not just a screening, to make
sure nothing is overlooked.
Eye exams are an important part of
health maintenance for everyone. Children and adults should have their eyes
tested annually to keep their prescriptions current and to check for signs of
eye disease. To schedule an appointment for an eye exam, please call 973538-5287. Located at 25 South Street
in downtown Morristown, we are available weekdays 10 to 6, Thursdays, 10
to 7, and Saturdays, 10 to 4.

ast month at the Metropolitan
campus of Fairleigh Dickinson
University, local high school students got a taste of some real world high
tech decision making. The 50 freshmen
students of the STEM Academy at
Morristown High School attended a conference, along with students from Barack
Obama Charter School and the Rahway
and Bergen Academies, to learn more
about the impact of school solar programs.
Jack Leffler, STEM supervisor from
Randolph High School presented the
plans for the solar panel array at his
school, and then discussed with the students the "real-work outcomes" that have
come about as a result of implementing
the solar program.
"It allowed the students to still be creative and enthusiastic but have a lens
from a real world perspective, says
Michele Joseph of the Student Global
Ambassador Project (SGAP) who had
organized the event. We don't want to
extinguish their excitement but ignite it."
Solar Forum Excites Local Students
Joseph founded SGAP in 2009. It all

started when she took her then 11 yearold son and some of his friends to the
United Nations in New York City. The
kids got really excited about what they
learned there and soon the question came
up, "So, where are we going next?" This
got Joseph thinking and what started out
as an extracurricular field trip has turned
into an organization that has already
involved around 740 kids in 47 different
schools in NJ, Virginia and Washington
D.C.
The goals of SGAP align with the
United Nations' eight Millenium
Development Goals: Eradicate extreme
poverty and hunger; achieve universal
primary education; promote gender
equality and empower women; reduce
child mortality; improve maternal health;
combat HIV/AIDs, malaria and other diseases; ensure environmental stability;
and global partnership for development.
SGAP uses these goals to help students understand the role of the UN and
how the students can be part of implementing these goals.
The solar forum illustrated for the students how seeking environmental stability through solar energy can be affected
by economics, efficiency of the technology, and community impact. Leffler went
through with the students what actually
happened, how the community responded, and how efficient the solar program at
Randolph High School is.
Then to work out some of what they
had learned, the students used

Helioscope, a software program that let
them design a solar PV system for their
own schools. They needed to consider
"Where should we install them to best
reduce our carbon footprint, increase
efficiency and still be cost effective?"
Joseph says, "There was a real Ah-Ha
factor for the students," commenting on

making a decision it has to be considered
in the context of the community.
You have to consider, do people want
to see solar panels here?"
When asked about the future of SGAP,
Joseph says she is excited about the

upcoming events but reflects,"The most
rewarding thing is just the kids." Seeing
their excitement and energy being
focused on solving global issues is very
rewarding and inspiring indeed.

Tourism to Morristown National

Historical Park Creates $20.6 Million
in Economic Benefits
new National Park Service (NPS)

report shows that 264,363 visitors
to Morristown National Historical
Park in 2014 spent $14.8 million in communities near the park. That spending supported 197 jobs in the local area and had a
cumulative benefit to the local economy of
$20.6 million.
"The staff and volunteers at Morristown
National Historical Park welcome our
neighbors, folks from the entire State of
New Jersey and nearby New York and
Pennsylvania, and visitors from across the
country and around the world," said
Superintendent Thomas E. Ross. "We are
delighted to share Morristown National
Historical Parks story and the experiences
it provides. We think of the park as a way
to introduce our visitors to this part of the
country and all that it offers. National park
tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1
invested in the National Park Service, and
its a positive factor in the Morristown,
Morris County and New Jersey economies
as well. We appreciate the partnership and
support of our neighbors and are glad to be
able to give back by helping to sustain
local communities."
Leslie Bensley, executive director of
the Morris County Tourism Bureau, said,
"The importance of Morristown National
Historical Park cannot be overstated as to

the economic health and cultural wellbeing of the Morristown area. Our partnership with Morristown National Historical
Park continues to strengthen as we forge
ahead with heritage tourism initiatives that
will drive more visitors to our area who
seek an authentic experience."
The peer-reviewed visitor spending
analysis was conducted by U.S.
Geological Survey economists Catherine
Cullinane Thomas and Christopher Huber
and National Park Service economist
Lynne Koontz. The report shows $15.7
billion of direct spending by 292.8 million
park visitors in communities within 60
miles of a national park. This spending
supported 277,000 jobs nationally;
235,600 of those jobs are found in these
gateway communities. The cumulative
benefit to the U.S. economy was $29.7 billion.
According to the 2014 report, most park
visitor spending was for lodging (30.6 percent) followed by food and beverages
(20.3 percent), gas and oil (11.9 percent),
admissions and fees (10.2 percent) and
souvenirs and other expenses (9.9 percent).

Spring Cleaning at Morristown Cosmetic Dentistry
ust like your home requires seasonal maintenance, so do your

teeth, and Spring is the perfect
time to schedule your dental hygiene
appointment," says Dr. Victor Gittleman
of Morristown Cosmetic Dentistry. The
arrival of the nice weather and upcoming
events such as weddings, graduations,
and summer vacations make Spring an
ideal time to take care of all of your family's dental needs that may have been put
off during the cold winter months.
College students returning from
school should make sure to fit in their
dental hygiene before going off to job
interviews and summer employment to
ensure that their smile makes a bright
impression in the workplace and that any
needed dental work is completed before
starting a new job. Likewise, school age
children participating in summer camps,
sports, and programs should be seen for a
cleaning and exam to make sure that all is
well and that they are not sidelined from
any activities with dental issues.
Spring is also an ideal time for adults
to come in for their cleaning as calenders

fill with special events such as weddings
and graduations. "There is nothing like a
clean white smile to make you look your
best for any occasion, says Dr. Gittleman,
and my staff and I look forward to giving
our patients a picture perfect smile for
their special events."
Finally, for those of you making summer travel plans, Dr. Gittleman highly
recommends that you plan to visit your
dentist first for a routine cleaning and

their hygiene at least one month before
traveling to make sure that any needed
dental work is taken care of in advance of
any trips, especially if traveling outside
of the country. "The best way to ensure
that your long awaited vacation is not
marred by a dental emergency, says Dr.
Gittleman, is to make sure that you are up
to date with your cleaning and exam
before embarking on your adventure."
Dr. Gittleman and the staff of
Morristown Cosmetic Dentistry encourage you to put your dental care at the top
of your "Spring Cleaning" list this season

and look forward to welcoming new and

Drug Abuse Prevention Event Raises Awareness
By Ejvind Boccolini
he Morris County Sheriff's Office held a substance
abuse prevention symposium on April 30 attended
by former Governor Jim McGreevey and other significant officials to raise awareness on how to combat this
destructive force.
The "Do No Harm" event was held at the Morris
County Correctional Facility in Morristown, and it included officials from the fields of law enforcement, government, education, and medicine. More specifically, it
assimilates the work of the medical community within the
correctional facilities in New Jersey.
A press release from the Morris County Sheriff's Office
noted that the symposium addresses the "use, abuse, and
fatalities from the use of illegal and prescription drugs," as
it is "rising at alarming rates." Morris County Sheriff
Edward Rochford joined McGreevey as one of the speakers at the event, as advocates for drug abuse prevention
and passionate about combating the problem.
As Rochford welcomed everyone to the event, he
thanked his staff, noting that "I have never worked with
such a dedicated group of people in my life." In a press
release for the event, Undersheriff Susan Hunter noted
that "our correctional facility as it is hailed as one of the
best in the country."
"Prevention is Key" of Morris County also had representatives on hand as part of the symposium. "Prevention
Family Owned And Operated

Over 30 Years Experience
is Key" works to reduce and prevent all substance abuse

throughout the lifetime of individuals in our communities.
They dedicate a lot of energy to the 18-25 age group as
well, because they are seriously at risk for the devastating
effects of substance abuse, though individuals that are
both younger or older than this group are at risk of course
too.
Substance abuse is, of course, a factor in correctional
facilities, in the sense that officials reported that one-third
of the inmates committed their offense while under the
influence of drugs, and 17 percent said they committed
their offense to obtain money for drugs. And, of course,
prescription drugs are being stolen (or obtained in many
ways) by individuals who then sell them illegally on the
street.
There unfortunately is a demand, and individuals often
make a great deal of money from this. This destructive
cycle happens in urban areas, and in quiet suburbs as well.
At the symposium, experts spoke also about the proper
ways to treat, evaluate, and dispense prescriptions to
incarcerated individuals who could be interested - and
deceitful - in abusing their medications.
Also, though most doctors are working to have integrity and ethics every step of the way in prescribing drugs,
there are a small portion who are "dirty" doctors who have
been caught in the act of writing unnecessary prescriptions. Some are perhaps only naive, or can be easily fooled
by their patients who claim they need certain prescriptions

- but other doctors either do not document their reasons
for prescribing drugs, or shockingly, even involve themselves in deceitful and illegal acts that contribute to substance abuse, and make drugs easily available.
Of course, money is the motive for them, and though
"dirty doctors" are not the norm, there have been some
busted for their incredible schemes.

Drug Abuse Prevention...

What is also unfortunate is that "incarceration does not decrease substance
abuse," as officials noted at the symposium. As an example, nearly 75 percent of
individuals released from prison return to
heroin within three months of release.
Also, more than 100 people die from
drug overdoses each day in the U. S.
McGreevey said he thanks law enforcement for their work in combating substance abuse. "We're in the midst of a crisis," he said. We have to understand the
scope of the problem," adding that drug
overdoses are the killer in our communities, whereas traffic accidents were more
so the main problems in the past.
Prevention is Key is continuing to work
on the problem of substance abuse in our
communities, as are all officials in law
enforcement, the medical community, and
beyond.
Prevention is Key also wants to get the
word out about the Recovery Coach

IMPLANT DENTISTRY
For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients
with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure
has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the
recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they
provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini
implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.
Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an
integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

ome images are
iconic and when one
looks at them they
instantly speak from the
past with the power that
comes from having been
there. They capture the
moment in a still frame, an
impression, a message
about what it was like to
be present at that moment.
Jim DelGiudice, a photojournalist and adjunct
assistant professor at the
County College of Morris
in Randolph, presented a
talk entitled "Gotcha!:
Snapshots that Changed
History," on April 30 at
the Morristown & Morris
Township
Library.
DelGiudice is also a frequent lecturer at Drew and
Columbia Universities.
For his architectural pho-
"Gotcha!" Snapshots That Changed History
tography books published

by Rutgers University
Press he twice won the
states
Historic
Preservation Award.
Looking at photography through the lens of its
historical context is not
new, but considering how
the picture itself effected
history is not as common.
People often look at photographs as recording
moments in history, but
photography does more, it
informs them of events by
bringing them into that
moment.
A lot of photographs
that have impacted history
have been published in
newspapers and magazines. The quick turnover
of processing time, even
for film photography,
makes it ideal for report-
ing on current events. The

power of a still image is
the power of being there,
"You were there; you cannot
deny
it,"
said
DelGiudice. That applies
to both the photographer
and the subject. For some
the power of being there
has been positive for their
careers and political
future, for others it has
been a death knell.
DelGiudice
started
with the origins of photography and progressed into
the modern digital age. He
examined some of the
most famous and influential
photographs,
explained how the photographs happened to be
taken and by whom, and
where the photograph
went from there.
One of the questions he
posed is "Who has control

of the photograph, the
photographer or the sitter?" Also, he considered
the truthfulness of the
medium. Lovers of film
photography
often
bemoan the digital age and
the power of computers to
alter images. The ability
of the photographer to
alter an image can sometimes be untruthful. This
is not entirely new however.
DelGiudice
went
through some film images
from history that had been
altered to hide the truth.
Photojournalists take others to places and show
them events they cannot
get to themselves, and
they want to trust them.
Throughout recent history,
however,
photographs
For Eyewear As Individual As You Are!
have been used as propaganda and have been

staged or changed in ways
that are not truthful.
One of the most enjoyable parts of the evening
was having some of these
iconic images explained.
Most of these images are
immediately recognizable,
but their context is not.
The print may have been
seen a hundred times, but
never understood. It was
very powerful to know
who took the picture and
to hear what happened to
the people in the photograph.
Photographs of war are
especially powerful as
they show people engaged
in the raw struggle for survival. By nature war photography is snapshots. The
photographer cannot pose
Jim DelGiudice
the subjects or manipulate

the lighting. It is at it's
best simply the capturing
of the moment. Some war
correspondents have taken
photographs that have
changed the lives of those
photographed. The photographer snapped the picture and then intervened in
history themselves, somecontinued on next page

times by taking the person they just photographed to the hospital thereby saving
that person's life, and changing their own
lives in the process. To hear these stories
was inspiring as well as heart wrenching.
Scandal also often follows snapshots
and the power of the paparazzi is not to
be underestimated. To see a truly candid
photograph can change the way a person
is viewed forever.
Two young ladies in attendance, ages
11 and nine. When asked which of the
photographs left a lasting impression on
their minds, both recalled an image taken
by Nick Ut of "The Terror of War." The
main subject of the photo is Kim Phuc, a
then nine-year-old girl who had been
badly burned by napalm in a 1973 bombing by the South Vietnamese. She survived only by ripping off her clothes and
is seen running naked toward the photographer, Nick Ut. After he snapped the
picture, Nick took Kim to the hospital.
After being hospitalized for 14 months
and undergoing 17 surgical procedures

she
eventually
returned
home.
DelGiudice showed a picture of Kim
taken after she was released from the
hospital, sitting at a table and writing.
This photograph was such a contrast to
the one taken by Ut, such a spark of hope
that both girls in the audience remembered it well. As an adult, Kim eventually found political asylum in Canada. The
story of her survival and the testimony of
her forgiveness and success in life following that horrific day, left an indelible
impression.
A great photograph continues to
change history even generations after it
was taken, changing hearts and challenging ideas about the world and the way
one views themself.
"A real photograph, it tells a story, yet
its beautiful." said DelGiudice. If "beauty is truth, truth is beauty," as John Keats
wrote, then these photographs are beautiful indeed.

Scapicchio Enters Ring For Round Two For Freeholder Fight
David Scapicchio
By Cheryl Conway
zero tax increase, reducing debt
and maintaining roadways are high
on the list for David Scapicchios
campaign as Morris County Freeholder.
Running in the Republican 2015 June 2
Primary for his second three- year term as

freeholder, Scapicchio of Flanders and
Morris County resident for more than 36
years, was sworn in to his first three-year
term on the freeholder board on Jan. 4,
2013, serving as the boards deputy director
in 2013 and 2014.
Competing in an all-Republican
Primary, Scapicchio joins running mates
Freeholder John Krikus of Washington
Twp., and Deborah Smith, a Denville councilwoman. The three are competing against
incumbent John Cesaro of Parsippany,
Christine Meyers of Mendham, Angelo
Tedesco of East Hanover, and Thomas
Mulligan of Rockaway.
With success in keeping all promises
during his first term, Scapicchio plans to
continue the same course.
When we ran in 2012, we made some
promises, says Scapicchio during a telephone interview with New View Media.
We did not raise taxes for three years in a
row. We said wed reduce debt; we reduced
debt by $300 million. We said wed pave
roads. Weve been able to do that without
raising taxes. The plan is the same.

Scapicchio says I made promises in
2012 when I first ran; I fulfilled those
promises. As candidates for political office
we set goals, we promise to make changes,
and to do things differently. More often
than not, even with the best of intensions
those promises are hard to keep. During the
2012 campaign we made some promises,
and we have succeeded in fulfilling many
of them. Promises made-promises keep.
No stranger to public service,
Scapicchio served as Mt. Olive mayor from
2006-2011; Mt. Olive Twp. councilman for
two consecutive terms (1996-2004) in
which he spent two years as council president; Mt. Olive Zoning Board of
Adjustment; and is a former chair of the
Mt. Olive Republican Committee.
At the county level, Scapicchio served
on the Morris County Municipal Utilities
Authority.
He currently chairs the Capital Budget
Review and Facilities Committee, which is
in charge of capital programs. In that
capacity, he is involved in a six year pro-

gram, 2015-2021, to enhance the road surfacing program. The road surfacing program has grown from 17 miles of road
resurfacing a year, prior to 2013, to 34
miles of roadway each year, a much needed service based on severe winters and
roadway conditions, he says.
We want to continue that program,
says Scapicchio, adding that there are 284
miles of roadway in Morris County that
need to be maintained.
We have prioritized infrastructure
improvements, an area most governments
have failed to address, he says. This year
weve invested $16 million on the countys
infrastructure.
Scapicchio mentions a continued course
regarding health insurance, debt and taxes.
Health Insurance cost the county $47
million a year, he says, so the freeholder
board eliminated the policy that enabled
freeholders to receive health insurance paid
for by the county tax payers, and also
changed the policy that provided employees lifetime health insurance after 15 years

of employment.
The county no longer provides new
employees with lifetime benefits, and all
employees now contribute towards their
health insurance, he says.
The board is also considering a selfinsurance program which may have the
potential to save the county hundreds of
thousands of dollars, he adds.
Regarding debt, Morris County debt is
at $229 million, down from $259 million
when he came into office.
By keeping capital spending under
control we have been able to reduce debt by
$10 million a year, says Scapicchio.
Regarding taxes, he says We said we
would not raise property taxes- we have
delivered three budgets with no tax
increase and we are working hard to deliver a 2016 budget with no tax increase as
well. Our goal is to make county government smarter, smaller and more responsive.
We are reforming health care, paying
down debt, controlling taxes, investing in
roads and bridges and maintaining the
countys AAA bond rating, says
Scapicchio. Thats good Republican leadership!

Scapicchio studied at DeVry Institute of
Technology and eventually became a partner in Scapicchio & Sons, a family-owned,
high-quality, professional residential construction company in Whippany.
Originally from Livingston, he and his
wife Betsy, married in 1977 and have four
grown daughters.
Scapicchio says he is re-running for
freeholder because I enjoy public works,
working with others how we can provide
service in the county and doing it without
raising taxes. I enjoy working towards that
goal.
The freeholder board is an elected
administrative body that sets policies for
the operation of all county services. That
includes six county government departments and their divisions, plus authorities,
commissions, boards and study committees.
Each of the seven freeholders serves as
a liaison to one of those departments and to
other areas of county government.
